Description

I was able to pull out some of the nice the galactic cirrus dust in this area using new techniques involving luminance layers which i have never used before. Without them i wasnt able to bring any of the IFN to the surface! I cant actually find an image that shows more of the flux nebula than i have here but if anybody knows of one i would be interested in seeing it just to compare.

The darker area around the galaxy that appears to be void of dust is an accurate representation as far as i can tell. At first i though i was creating it during processing but after looking at other images it seems that it is actually there. Also the galaxy appears to have a veil of dust over it which i have a feeling is part of the galaxy itself and not the IFN, but this is only the 'feel' i got during processing. I also refrained from using Gradient Exterminator as i found it was endangering to the faint IFN data.
